It’s true that everything is beautiful at the ballet! And East Texas residents will get to see firsthand what makes the Ballet such a magnificent art form with The Russian National Ballet Theatre’s performance of Giselle. With music by composer Adolphe Adam and the original Petipa choreography, Giselle is one of the most celebrated ballets of the Romantic era. The company of 50 dancers brings the story of a young peasant girl to life as she enters a world of betrayal, mystery, beauty and danger. The company’s Artistic Director, Elena Radchenko was a legendary principal dancer with the Bolshoi for many years and has led The Russian National Ballet Theatre to great success since 1994. The Arts Alliance has a brand new web site featuring video clips from the ballet as well as a synopsis of the show. You can go to www.angelinaarts.org for all the information you need.
